I was just curious if anybody knew just how rare of a car our D's are? I mean, I keep reading articles that show month after month BMW is selling more cars than ever and since there has been no named follow up to our cars in the F30 line up I figure it would be interesting to know how many 335d's (no X35d numbers please) were made during the course of its E90 life cycle compared to total E90's made. (BTW, not looking to sell my D anytime soon) Any takers?

I hope not too rare because I do not think them being rare is going to actually help resale value at any point that I'd still continue to own it. If anything I think it will scare off more potential buyers.

IIRC, the last 2-3 years they were selling as many 335d's as 335i (sedan only). I believe that's 3,000-4,000 per year in the US. Check Spiro's site: http://www.thedieseldriver.com/ I think he's got some info there.

Still assembled in Dixie alongside the other M & GL SUV's. I see a fair number of the R's out here, but they all look like hearses to me. Sorry, just not into that art deco rear end treatment -- looks like the old "Adenhauer" sedan to me. As far as diesels go, lots of X5 diesels on the road here. The eco credit and other allowances made them cheaper than the base X5 for a short time.

Last time I was at the dealer waiting for them to bring my car in, a number of X5s pulled in and every single one of them was a diesel. I remember it well because every single one of them sounded much more like a diesel truck than how my car sounded when it came in. I see 335d models all the time and I also see 335i models but of course more 335i cars have been sold over more years so that is to be expected. I do not think I see some huge amount more of 335i cars over 335d cars.

Apart from my own I've seen *three* "d"s since the day I bought mine...I saw two in the Northeast and one in Quebec.Given that they lack AWD I've often wondered if they might be more common in areas that have no winter...FL,TX,CA,etc.

I've seen quite a few in the bay area, ca, sometimes i'll see two or three in a day besides my own. I didn't notice them at first, but after my friend stopped by in his 335d (he got his before I did) I started noticing them more and more. Definitely in the last year since I've picked up my car I've noticed them much more. Not sure whether it is me just noticing them more because I'm looking for them more, or whether they were selling more in the last few months.
